Jose, So Much More Than Our Gardener

Jose Luis Gutierrez passed away suddenly on July, 22nd 2016.
Having had Jose work for me over the past 25 years, it would be easy to write a book on just how much he has meant to me, not only as my gardener, but as a trusted friend. Jose never let me or any of his many other customers down, whether they were here in Bear Valley, Cummings Valley, or within Tehachapi. Jose never once said a job was too hard for him or that he just couldn't do it. In fact he did things most anyone would not even attempt to do. He knew every inch of my property and took care of it like his own.
Jose leaves behind his lovely wife Jeimy, his 3 sons, his parents, 2 brothers and his sister. Jeimy works at the packing sheds in Cummings Valley, in addition to cleaning houses, when time allows. Proudly, through their hard work, they were recently able to purchase their first home in Golden Hills and couldn't wait to share it with an open house making sure I was there. The loss of Jose will be a great struggle for this family, and it is my prayer they will be able to continue living there.
If anyone knows of any of his customers please make sure they read this article. With so many tragedies happening in this country and the world today, I think it is here that we have the chance to make a difference in this very deserving family's life.
An account to help this family with final expenses has been set up at Bank of the Sierra, 224 West F St., Tehachapi, CA 93561. (661)-822-6801. The account of Leslie Duplan, for Jose Gutierrez, Jeimy Gutierrez, Beneficiary.
